I agree with your misgivings about some of the team but despite that i did moan about Kerr, he is on a low average now so he should increase his average by a point without, hopefully, so many engine issues. Bowes could be the main issue,  he has had good meetings but has had problems, I hope he can have a good season but not the sort of rider we would normally go for. i am sure Beau Bailey was in their plans and his u turn has messed things up a bit.  

It's certainly not helped having to lose 4.53 from last seasons team. I would love to be proved wrong but must admit I have concerns compared to the likes of Glasgow - Redcar - Oxfords expected like up and even others. A strong home form is so important for the League  BP and I feel we may not have that compared to last season and that could cost us over 2 legs as well as probably losing many away. (Just my opinion). I'm not convinced on Bowes who in effect has failed during his 4 years in POL. Giles is potentially a risky just over 4 with a history of injuries - Kerr can be wildly inconsistent as his lower GSA evidenced last season. Cairns has had the privelage of having an affluent family to finance his racing overseas as well as trips to Hancocks homes in SWE & USA for private tuition. Didn't quite have the effect I hoped last season in UK or POL U24 but he is only 16 but certainly not shown me he he has Baileys class by a long way. Rushen is definitely a racer but not 16 until end of March. Maybe he will progress quicker than Cairns and is an exciting racer. Hopefully those 2 reserves will progress quickly and who knows, we may see both Gilkes & Bowes at reserve at some stage. Anyway hopefully Rocketman - Cook - Cairns & rushen will give us plenty to cheer in 2026. Anyone else will be a pleasant bonus.

To be fair, Lewi did have a lot of engine issues, he is meant to be a professional, nobody else had so many engine problems.

I get that but surely posting on any thread is his prerogative wether Ipswich have issues or not , it has nothing to do with what he has posted.

This has absolutely nothing to do with speedway for the foreseeable future. This will drag on for months if not years, because with it being such a big takeover everyone and their mother in the film world will have their say on it.  In any case existing contracts will continue. Hey if Netflix can take a shine to speedway in the same way as F1, then that isn't a bad thing. 

Brilliant post enjoyed reading that- don't forget we've lost Woolworths.☹️
